Google has filed a patent for a smartwatch that can
take a small sample of your blood without the use of
needles, and it could help diabetics more easily
monitor their blood glucose levels throughout the
day.
Currently, diabetics need to perform a finger prick
and use a blood glucose meter multiple times a day
to make sure their insulin levels are under control.
But based on the limited information we have so far,
Google's new smartwatch-like device looks poised to
replace that system with something less painful and
more automatic.
Given that the invention is still in the patent phase,
Google is remaining tight-lipped about exactly how
the device works, what it might be used for, or even
when or if it'll get made. But it has provided a little bit
of insight into the process.
The patent application reveals that the device first
sends an 'abrupt surge' of gas into a barrel
containing a microparticle, which then punctures the
skin to produce a small drop of blood.
This droplet is then sucked into a negative pressure
barrel, where it can be used for further testing. "Such
an application might be used to draw a small amount
of blood, for example, for a glucose test," Google
writes in the application.
From the diagrams released with the patent, it looks
like the device is a little tube that's stored in the
chunky watch-like device you can see above (hello,
'80s design) and is then removed and used when the
patient's blood needs to be taken.
Google
Although diabetics aren't specifically mentioned in
the patent, it doesn't take a tech expert to read
between the lines and get an idea of the intended
target market. And it's also not the first time that
Google has actively targeted diabetics with its
inventions.
Just last year, a research team at Google Life
Sciences announced that it was developing 'smart'
lenses that will be able to monitor blood
glucose levels, and another group is working on
disposable, bandage-sized glucose monitors.
It's a pretty sensible business move for the company,
with one in three US adults projected to have
diabetes by 2050 if current trends continue,
according to the US Centres for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Of course, just because Google has patented an idea,
doesn't mean anything is going to come of it anytime
soon. The tech company told The Verge:
"We hold patents on a variety of ideas – some of
those ideas later mature into real products or
services, some don't. Prospective product
announcements should not necessarily be
inferred from our patents."
But we can't help but hope this device makes it to
market, because a faster and more painless way to
monitor blood levels would make a whole lot of
peoples' lives easier.

Messy Divorce
'My wife is a prostitute' - Husband; 'You forced me into it' - Wife replies

A woman who accused by her husband of being a prostitute says her husband forced her into it.

A 36-year-old housewife, Eniola Ogbonna, told a Customary Court sitting in Osogbo, Osun State, that she had to take to prostitution so as to be able to feed her children when her husband, Hanni Ogbonna, refused to take care of his responsibilities.

The messy divorce was instituted by her husband who told the court that his wife had taken to prostitution and did not have time for him and their children.

The woman who begged the court not to grant the divorce for the sake of the children, narrated how she found herself in prostitution.

“It is true that I flirt around, but my husband showed me the way. About eight years ago, I lost my job but my husband, was not giving me money, so I became a harlot. He was always discriminating between me and the senior wife in the provision of money for our children.

Whenever we had a quarrel, he was always beating me. Even with all these, I do not want a divorce because of my children.”

But the plaintiff, Hanni insisted on the divorce:

“We have been married for 12 years and we have four children. My wife has become an adulterous person. She has no time for the children because of her promiscuity.

I have prevailed on her to change her attitude, but she refused. All these are giving me unrest. That is why I have come to seek divorce.”

In granting the divorce, the Court's president, Chief Popoola Bolarinwa declared that since it was the plaintiff that insisted on the break up, the court had no reason not grant him his wish.

“The plaintiff has insisted on divorce and rejected the appeal by the court to make reconciliation. The defendant is an unrepentant prostitute, who is not willing to change. We hereby dissolve the marriage.

Silas Akude, a member of the Lagos State Taskforce Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, is currently battling for his life at the Emergency Ward of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, after he was bathed with acid » by some hoodlums, popularly called 'Area Boys', at the Oshodi area of the state, the Punch reports. It was gathered that the miscreants had trailed the team in which Akude was part of and emptied the can of acid »on him, scalding his face, neck and other parts of his body. The officials were in the area to enforce traffic rules when a commercial bus filled with the hoodlums, suddenly halted at the junction where Akude was manning and one of them jumped down, emptied the substance on him and jumped back into the vehicle which took off immediately. A task force official who was a member of the team, told reporters how the incident happened on Friday, December 4. “We all moved out as a team and when we got to Oshodi, we moved to different spots to monitor traffic, arrest road traders and enforce the traffic law. We had divided ourselves into two that day. A group monitored Oshodi Isale, while the other group went to Oshodi Oke. Around 4pm, a Volkswagen bus on motion suddenly stopped in front of Silas, and somebody in the bus poured the acid on him. The bus drove off immediately.” The official believed the attack could have been a reprisal by someone Akude had arrested in the past as it was unprovoked.

Ira, Ogba, Lagos, was on Monday brought before an
Ikeja Magistrates’ Court after he allegedly defiled two
minors.
The 16-yr-old is reported to be facing four counts
bordering on defilement and assault.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Sections 137
and 259 stipulate imprisonment for life for the
offender if found guilty.
NAN reports that the prosecutor, Sgt. Jimah
Iseghede, told the court that the offences were
committed on November 12 at the accused’s
residence, saying:
“The accused lives with his parents in the same
house with the victims and so it was easy for him to
defile the girls, aged two and six. It was the cry of the
two-year-old girl that attracted her mother and the
accused was apprehended.”
The accused, whose name had been withheld,
however, pleaded not guilty to the charges, even after
being caught red handed.
The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias, granted
the accused bail set at a million naira with two
sureties in like sum.
As part of the bail condition, the magistrate ordered
the accused to deposit N250,000 into the court

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an
American computer programmer, Internet
entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He is the chairman,
chief executive, and co-founder of the social
networking website Facebook.[4][5] His personal
wealth, as of December 2015, is estimated to be $45.4
billion, ranked by Forbes as the 7th richest American.
[3] Zuckerberg receives a one-dollar salary as CEO of
Facebook.[2] In the spirit of The Giving Pledge,
Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan announced
they would give the majority of their wealth over the
course of their lives to "advancing human potential
and promoting equality".[6][7]
Together with his college roommates and fellow
Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin,
Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris
Hughes, he launched Facebook from Harvard's
dormitory rooms.[8] The group then introduced
Facebook onto other campuses nationwide and
moved to Palo Alto, California shortly afterwards. In
2007, at the age of 23, Zuckerberg became a
billionaire as a result of Facebook's success. The
number of Facebook s worldwide reached a total
of one billion in 2012. Zuckerberg was involved in
various legal disputes that were initiated by others in
the group, who claimed a share of the company
based upon their involvement during the
development phase of Facebook.
Since 2010, Time magazine has named Zuckerberg
among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people
in the world as a part of its Person of the Year
distinction.[9][10][11] Zuckerberg was played by actor
Jesse Eisenberg in the 2010 film The Social Network,
in which the rise of Facebook is portrayed.[12] He has
been married to Priscilla Chan since 2012 and they
have one child.
Early life
Zuckerberg was born in 1984 in White Plains, New
York.[13] He is the son of dentist Edward Zuckerberg
and psychiatrist Karen Kempner.[14] He and his three
sisters, Randi, Donna, and Arielle,[15] were brought
up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, a small Westchester
County village about 21 miles (34 km) north of
Midtown Manhattan.[15] Zuckerberg was raised
Jewish and had his bar mitzvah when he turned 13.
[16] Afterward, he became an atheist.[17][18][19]
At Ardsley High School, Zuckerberg excelled in
classics. He transferred to Phillips Exeter Academy in
New Hampshire in his junior year, where he won
prizes in science (math, astronomy and physics) and
classical studies. On his college application,
Zuckerberg claimed that he could read and write
French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek. He was
captain of the fencing team.[18][20][21][22] In college,
he was known for reciting lines from epic poems
such as The Iliad.[20]
Software developer
Early years
Zuckerberg began using computers and writing
software in middle school. His father taught him Atari
BASIC Programming in the 1990s, and later hired
software developer David Newman to tutor him
privately. Newman calls him a "prodigy", adding that
it was "tough to stay ahead of him". Zuckerberg took
a graduate course in the subject at Mercy College
near his home while still in high school. He enjoyed
developing computer programs, especially
communication tools and games. In one such
program, since his father's dental practice was
operated from their home, he built a software
program he called "ZuckNet" that allowed all the
computers between the house and dental office to
communicate with each other. It is considered a
"primitive" version of AOL's Instant Messenger,
which came out the following year.
According to writer Jose Antonio Vargas, "some kids
played computer games. Mark created them."
Zuckerberg himself recalls this period: "I had a bunch
of friends who were artists. They'd come over, draw
stuff, and I'd build a game out of it." However, notes
Vargas, Zuckerberg was not a typical "geek-klutz", as
he later became captain of his prep school fencing
team and earned a classics diploma. Napster co-
founder Sean Parker, a close friend, notes that
Zuckerberg was "really into Greek odysseys and all
that stuff", recalling how he once quoted lines from
the Roman epic poem Aeneid, by Virgil, during a
Facebook product conference.[15]
During Zuckerberg's high school years, under the
company name Intelligent Media Group, he built a
music player called the Synapse Media Player that
used machine learning to learn the 's listening
habits, which was posted to Slashdot[23] and
received a rating of 3 out of 5 from PC Magazine.[24]
College years
By the time he began classes at Harvard, Zuckerberg
had already achieved a "reputation as a
programming prodigy", notes Vargas. He studied
psychology and computer science as well as
belonging to Alpha Epsilon Pi and Kirkland House.[9]
[15][25] In his sophomore year, he wrote a program
he called CourseMatch, which allowed s to make
class selection decisions based on the choices of
other students and also to help them form study
groups. A short time later, he created a different
program he initially called Facemash that let students
select the best looking person from a choice of
photos. According to Zuckerberg's roommate at the
time, Arie Hasit, "he built the site for fun". Hasit
explains:

We had books called Face Books, which included
the names and pictures of everyone who lived in
the student dorms. At first, he built a site and
placed two pictures, or pictures of two males and
two females. Visitors to the site had to choose
who was "hotter" and according to the votes there
would be a ranking.[26]

The site went up over a weekend; but by Monday
morning, the college shut it down because its
popularity had overwhelmed one of Harvard's
network switches and prevented students from
accessing the Internet. In addition, many students
complained that their photos were being used
without permission. Zuckerberg apologized publicly,
and the student paper ran articles stating that his site
was "completely improper."[26]
The following semester, in January 2004, Zuckerberg
began writing code for a new website.[27] On
February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched
"Thefacebook", originally located at
thefacebook.com.[28]
Six days after the site launched, three Harvard
seniors, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, and
Divya Narendra, accused Zuckerberg of intentionally
misleading them into believing he would help them
build a social network called
HarvardConnection.com, while he was instead using
their ideas to build a competing product.[29] The
three complained to the Harvard Crimson and the
newspaper began an investigation in response.
Following the official launch of the Facebook social
media platform, the three filed a lawsuit against
Zuckerberg that resulted in a settlement.[30] The
agreed settlement was for 1.2 million Facebook
shares that were worth US$300 million at Facebook's
IPO.[31]
Zuckerberg dropped out of Harvard in his
sophomore year to complete his project.[32] In
January 2014, Zuckerberg recalled:

I really vividly, you know, having pizza
with my friends a day or two after—I opened up
the first version of Facebook at the time I thought,
"You know, someone needs to build a service like
this for the world." But I just never thought that
we'd be the ones to help do it. And I think a lot of
what it comes down to is we just cared more.[33]

Bartz of Yahoo!, Art Levinson of Genentech, Steve

Facebook
Main articles: Facebook, History of Facebook and
Timeline of Facebook
Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard
dormitory room on February 4, 2004.[34][35] An
earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from
Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep school from which
Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own
student directory, "The Photo Address Book", which
students referred to as "The Facebook". Such photo
directories were an important part of the student
social experience at many private schools. With
them, students were able to list attributes such as
their class years, their friends, and their telephone
numbers.[34]
Once at college, Zuckerberg's Facebook started off as
just a "Harvard thing" until Zuckerberg decided to
spread it to other schools, enlisting the help of
roommate Dustin Moskovitz. They began with
Columbia, New York University, Stanford, Dartmouth,
Cornell, Penn, Brown, and Yale.[36] Samyr Laine, a
triple jumper representing Haiti at the 2012 Summer
Olympics, shared a room with Zuckerberg during
Facebook's founding. "Mark was clearly on to great
things," said Laine, who was Facebook's fourteenth
.[37]
After Zuckerberg moved to Palo Alto, California with
Moskovitz and some friends, they leased a small
house that served as an office. Over the summer,
Zuckerberg met Peter Thiel who invested in the
company. They got their first office in mid-2004.
According to Zuckerberg, the group planned to
return to Harvard but eventually decided to remain in
California.[38][39] They had already turned down
offers by major corporations to buy the company. In
an interview in 2007, Zuckerberg explained his
reasoning: "It's not because of the amount of money.
For me and my colleagues, the most important thing
is that we create an open information flow for
people. Having media corporations owned by
conglomerates is just not an attractive idea to
me."[35]
He restated these goals to Wired magazine in 2010:
"The thing I really care about is the mission, making
the world open."[40] Earlier, in April 2009,
Zuckerberg sought the advice of former Netscape
CFO Peter Currie about financing strategies for
Facebook.[41] On July 21, 2010, Zuckerberg reported
that the company reached the 500 million- mark.
[42] When asked whether Facebook could earn more
income from advertising as a result of its
phenomenal growth, he explained:

I guess we could..... If you look at how much of
our page is taken up with ads compared to the
average search query. The average for us is a little
less than 10 percent of the pages and the average
for search is about 20 percent taken up with
ads..... That's the simplest thing we could do. But
we aren't like that. We make enough money. Right,
I mean, we are keeping things running; we are
growing at the rate we want to.[40]

In 2010, Steven Levy, who wrote the 1984 book
Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution, wrote
that Zuckerberg "clearly thinks of himself as a
hacker". Zuckerberg said that "it's OK to break things"
"to make them better".[43][44] Facebook instituted
"hackathons" held every six to eight weeks where
participants would have one night to conceive of and
complete a project.[43] The company provided
music, food, and beer at the hackathons, and many
Facebook staff , including Zuckerberg,
regularly attended.[44] "The idea is that you can build
something really good in a night", Zuckerberg told
Levy. "And that's part of the personality of Facebook
now..... It's definitely very core to my personality."[43]
Vanity Fair magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on
its 2010 list of the Top 100 "most influential people of
the Information Age".[45] Zuckerberg ranked number
23 on the Vanity Fair 100 list in 2009.[46] In 2010,
Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in New
Statesman's annual survey of the world's 50 most
influential figures.[47]
In a 2011 interview with PBS after the death of Steve
Jobs, Zuckerberg said that Jobs had advised him on
how to create a management team at Facebook that
was "focused on building as high quality and good
things as you are".[48]
On October 1, 2012, Zuckerberg visited Russian
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow to
stimulate social media innovation in Russia and to
boost Facebook's position in the Russian market.[49]
Russia's communications minister tweeted that
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev urged the social
media giant's founder to abandon plans to lure away
Russian programmers and instead consider opening
a research center in Moscow. In 2012, Facebook had
roughly 9 million s in Russia, while domestic
clone VK had around 34 million.[50] Rebecca Van
Dyck, Facebook's head of consumer marketing,
claimed that 85 million American Facebook s
were exposed to the first day of the Home
promotional campaign on April 6, 2013.[51]
On August 19, 2013, the Washington Post reported
that Zuckerberg's Facebook profile was hacked by an
unemployed web developer.[52]
At the 2013 TechCrunch Disrupt conference, held in
September, Zuckerberg stated that he is working
towards ing the 5 billion humans who were
not connected to the Internet as of the conference on
Facebook. Zuckerberg then explained that this is
intertwined with the aim of the Internet.org project,
whereby Facebook, with the of other
technology companies, seeks to increase the number
of people connected to the internet.[53][54]
Zuckerberg was the keynote speaker at the 2014
Mobile World Congress (MWC), held in Barcelona,
Spain, in March 2014, which was attended by 75,000
delegates. Various media sources highlighted the
connection between Facebook's focus on mobile
technology and Zuckerberg's speech, claiming that
mobile represents the future of the company.[55]
Zuckerberg's speech expands upon the goal that he
raised at the TechCrunch conference in September
2013, whereby he is working towards expanding
Internet coverage into developing countries.[56]
Alongside other American technology figures like Jeff
Bezos and Tim Cook, Zuckerberg hosted visiting
Chinese politician Lu Wei, known as the "Internet
czar" for his influence in the enforcement of China's
online policy, at Facebook's headquarters on
December 8, 2014. The meeting occurred after
Zuckerberg participated in a Q&A session at Tsinghua
University in Beijing, China, on October 23, 2014,
where he attempted to converse in Mandarin Chinese
—although Facebook is banned in China, Zuckerberg
is highly regarded among the people and was at the
university to help fuel the nation's burgeoning
entrepreneur sector.[57]
Zuckerberg fielded questions during a live Q&A
session at the company's headquarters in Menlo Park
on December 11, 2014. The founder and CEO
explained that he does not believe Facebook is a
waste of time because it facilitates social
engagement, and participating in a public session
was so that he could "learn how to better serve the
community".[58][59]

Scientists in Sweden have developed what they call "power paper" – a thin, paper-like material with a remarkable capacity to store energy. Just one sheet of the material measuring 15 centimetres in diameter and less than 0.5 millimetre thick can store 1 farad of electrical capacitance, which is about the same as many supercapacitors used in electric devices today. The material, which is made from nanocellulose and a conductive polymer, can be used then recharged, lasting for hundreds of charge cycles. And best of all, it only takes a few seconds to power up again. "Thin films that function as capacitors have existed for some time," said Xavier Crispin, a researcher from Linköping University's Laboratory of Organic Electronics. "What we have done is to produce the material in three dimensions. We can produce thick sheets." The researchers' material looks like black paper, but to the touch, has a more plasticky feel. Nonetheless, it exhibits other paper-like qualities too, such as strength, as demonstrated by its ability to be folded into origami shapes (the researchers apparently amused themselves by making an origami swan!). The team created the sheets by breaking down cellulose fibres using high-pressure water. These fibres measure just 20 nanometres in diameter, and are added to a water solution containing an electrically charged polymer. The polymer then forms a thin coating over the fibres. "The covered fibres are in tangles, where the liquid in the spaces between them functions as an electrolyte," said one of the team, Jesper Edberg. The full process is described in Advanced Science. The material, which the researchers claim sets new records for simultaneous conductivity for ions and electrons, could have a significant impact on how we store charge in small devices, and with further research might even be able to serve higher-capacity power needs. Unlike the batteries and capacitors we currently use – which use large amounts of metal and often contain toxic chemicals – the power paper is made from simple materials: renewable cellulose and readily available polymer. According to the researchers, the paper is light, requires no dangerous chemicals or heavy metals, and is waterproof to boot. The one challenge is developing an industrial process to manufacture it on a large scale. Like regular pulp paper, the material has to be dehydrated to make the sheeting. If the team can solve this puzzle, possibly with the help of commercial partners, power paper could be something we see a lot more of in the future.
